Dragon Eats

Decked with fresh flowers and offering ample seating, Dragon Eats is a refreshing change of pace from the stark delis of Little Saigon. The food—though non-traditional—offers a welcome twist as well. Banh mi fillings include five-spice chicken, marinated roasted pork belly, roasted duck, sardines, teriyaki tofu, pork meatball and garlic butter chicken. While all are paired with paté, mayo, and the usual garnishes, the sardine version also includes fried shallots and onions, while the roasted duck sandwich is drizzled in sweet and sour sauce. Pair your sandwich with a green papaya salad and wash it down with the house-made salty lemonade.
